The Y Queensland's childcare services has been at the heart of Australian communities for more than 40 years, with our first early learning service opening in Brisbane in 1977 after we identified the need for childcare that focused on helping children grow in body, mind and spirit.
YMCA Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) provides fun, stimulating and safe care for primary and secondary school children before and after school. At OSHC, children have the opportunity to participate in cooking, sport, music, art, dance and so much more.
Your workspace at the Y YMCA Calamvale Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) Service opened in January 2024. The service is located at Calamvale Community College which is an independent Public School with over 2000 students from Prep to Year 12. The service is licensed for 60 children per day and operates from 6am to 9 am in the morning and 3pm to 6pm in the afternoon during school terms. We also operate during school holidays for Vacation Care (6am to 6pm).
The service has access to multi-functional rooms and playground area offering a wide range of fun, stimulating and diverse programs that reflect real world experiences and home settings. This helps encourage a sense of community amongst our children, facilitates leadership skill development and allows children to practice social skills in a supported and caring environment.
Programs and activities are aligned with the YMCA Mission – to provide opportunities for children to grow in body, mind and spirit – underpinned by our values of Honesty, Caring, Respect and Responsibility. We blend this philosophy with the National Quality Framework 'My Time Our Place' and Wooloowin State School's educational principles to develop appropriate, engaging and most of all FUN activities for your child whilst in our care.
